Wanted: UK Metal Spinner

09/09/2009 10:43 AM

Can anyone recommend a metal spinning company in the UK who make small precision components in stainless & nickel alloy steels?

We use a number of these parts at present but our current supplier is in danger of going bust.

Thanks for the links although my anti-virus goes crazy if I try to view the Purdie site.

My problem here is that there are lots of companies advertising spinning capacity but most of them deal with the larger components. I need parts that are thin wall, crack free, vacuum tight & flat to tight limits.

I was hoping to get some recommendations from people that have experience of using particular suppliers.

Sorry, wrong side of the water to help. Metal spinning is a dying art, I'm afraid.

Maybe hydroforming?

Good Luck!

I wouldn't say it's dying, there are more that a hundred metal spinners in the UK but many of them are making pots & pans, lighting reflectors and architectural items. My problem is finding those capable of working to tight limits in more difficult materials.
